What Do Biomedical Engineers Do?
A Biomedical Engineer is an expert in the fields of medicine and biological sciences. They use their extensive knowledge base to develop different kinds of equipment and devices with the end goal of improving the effectiveness of patient care. Biomedical Engineers are critical thinkers and analysts. Their time is spent brainstorming solutions to medical problems and designing new devices, such as diagnostic machinery and even equipment for artificial body part generation. It is the job of a Biomedical Engineer to maintain the equipment they develop and to train other clinicians on proper usage and upkeep. In addition to the hands-on aspect of this career, Biomedical Engineers also dedicate time to researching medical dilemmas, studying up on biological discoveries, and assisting in the development of new scientific advances.
What are some common challenges biomedical engineers face when working on interdisciplinary teams?
What is the difference between Biomedical Engineer vs Mechanical Engineer?
| Aspect | Biomedical Engineer | Mechanical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering or related field; often licensed or certified | Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; licensure varies by role |
| Work Environment | Hospitals, medical device companies, research labs | Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, research facilities |
| Industry Usage | Healthcare, medical device development, biotech | Automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing |
Biomedical Engineers focus on designing and improving medical devices and healthcare solutions, working mainly in healthcare settings. Mechanical Engineers have a broader scope, working on machinery, systems, and products across various industries. While both roles require engineering degrees, their work environments and industry applications differ significantly.

Job description
- Lead perfusion system development: Design and build microfluidic and perfusion platforms that support long-term cell and tissue culture through controlled nutrient delivery, gas exchange, and waste management.
- Engineer culture interfaces: Develop biocompatible fluidic architectures and culture chambers that maintain stable physiological conditions while enabling imaging, sampling, and experimental manipulation.
- Optimize fluid and gas transport: Model and experimentally validate flow dynamics, oxygenation, and mass transport to ensure stable culture environments across varying developmental stages and tissue scales.
- Prototype and iterate rapidly: Design, fabricate, and test devices using microfabrication and rapid prototyping approaches (e.g., CNC machining, laser cutting, soft lithography, additive manufacturing), iterating based on biological performance.
- Collaborate across disciplines: Work closely with developmental biologists to translate biological constraints into engineering specifications and with software/data teams to integrate monitoring and experimental control systems.
- PhD or MS with significant experience in Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
- Demonstrated experience designing or operating microfluidic or perfusion-based culture systems
- Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, mass transport, and gas exchange in biological systems
- Hands-on experience with device prototyping and experimental validation
- Ability to independently drive complex technical projects from concept to implementation
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative startup environment
- Strong organizational and documentation skills
- Experience working with mammalian cell culture or biological interfaces
- Experience developing long-term perfusion or organ-on-chip culture systems
- Background in microphysiological systems, tissue engineering, or bioreactor design
- Experience designing oxygenation or gas exchange interfaces for biological systems
- Microfabrication experience (soft lithography, PDMS devices, micromachining, microfluidic bonding techniques)
- Experience integrating sensors, automation, or closed-loop control systems
- Prior startup or early-stage technology development experience
- Unrivaled impact: Your work directly enables technology that transforms human fertility and reproductive medicine.
- Full-spectrum growth: Gain exposure to the entire lifecycle of discovery. From screening to mechanistic validation.
- Best of both worlds: Experience the creative chaos of an early-stage startup with the stability of a well-capitalized company.
- Elite collaboration: Work alongside a world-class team who are as driven as you are.
- Competitive salary + equity participation is considered
- State-of-the-art facility in Portland metro area
- Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k) with company match
- 20 days PTO + 11 paid holidays
